Fire and security services
for restaurants and cafés
Restaurants and cafés operate in high-risk environments where open flames, hot surfaces, and busy staff increase the potential for fire incidents. Protecting customers, staff, and property is crucial, especially in fast-paced environments where fires can spread rapidly if not detected promptly.
We schedule work at times that minimise disruption, often before opening hours, after closing, or during quieter periods, ensuring continued compliance without affecting service.

security systems
Common fire risks in
restaurants and cafés
This sector presents specific hazards that must be managed carefully:
Cooking equipment, including fryers, grills, and ovens, is the leading cause of commercial fires.
Grease and oil buildup in extraction hoods and vents.
Electrical appliances, such as kettles, coffee machines, and other equipment, can be reduced by regular PAT testing.
Cluttered storage: paper towels, packaging, and other combustibles.
Open flames: candles or decorative flames in dining or event areas.
Overloaded circuits or DIY electrical work, especially in small independent cafés.
Our tailored fire protection services
for restaurants and cafes
No two restaurants or cafés are the same, so we provide customised fire protection solutions:
Smaller cafés may use a simple conventional wired alarm system, offering cost-effective protection.
If minimal downtime is essential, we can install wireless systems that are programmed off-site and installed quickly.
Kitchens may benefit from automatic fire suppression systems (wet chemical or ANSUL), while dining areas may use discrete smoke detection to blend with interiors.
Smoke ventilation systems can be integrated to protect both staff and guests in high-risk areas.
Each solution is designed based on a free site survey to identify risks and ensure the right system is installed.
Comprehensive security
systems we provide
Protecting your café or restaurant goes beyond fire safety. Our security solutions are tailored to your environment:
CCTV installation for restaurants and cafes
Monitor high-traffic areas, deter crime, and gather crucial evidence in the event of incidents. All systems enable remote viewing, providing owners with peace of mind.
Access control systems for restaurants and cafes
Restrict access to staff-only areas, storage, or kitchens. Remote unlocking can be used for deliveries and immediately re-secured.
Intruder Alarm System for restaurants and cafes
Monitored via alarm receiving centres (ARCs), keyholding companies, or direct notifications to designated personnel.
Integrated solutions for cafés and restaurants
Combining CCTV, access control, and intruder alarms provides comprehensive coverage, ensuring total security throughout the premises.
Maintenance and
servicing support
Ongoing servicing is vital for continued compliance and safety:
Scheduled visits before opening or after closing to minimise disruption.
Annual, biannual, or quarterly inspections depending on system type and risk.
Multi-discipline servicing covering fire alarms, security systems, and emergency lighting.
Remote monitoring and diagnostics to identify issues before they escalate.
24/7 emergency callouts for urgent situations.
Regular checks ensure that alarms, extinguishers, and suppression systems remain fully functional and ready to protect staff, guests, and property.
